Fundraiser for Make-A-Wish®
Event Fundraiser: 2018 Allstate Hot Chocolate 15k/5k - Nashville
Make-A-Wish® Middle Tennessee creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We are on a quest to bring every eligible child's wish to life, because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, serving children in every community in the United States and in 50 countries worldwide. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and 200+ volunteers in Middle Tennessee, grant a wish every 34 minutes, on average, somewhere in the country. Since 2000, Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee has granted more than 1,500 wishes to children in from the Tennessee River to the Cumberland Plateau.

Together as a running community, we have the power to transform lives, one wish at time.

About Make-A-Wish®
Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with critical illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. According to a 2011 U.S. study of wish impact, most health professionals surveyed believe a wish-come-true has positive impacts on the health of children. Kids say wishes give them renewed strength to fight their illness, and their parents say these experiences help strengthen the entire family. Headquartered in Phoenix, Make-A-Wish is one of the world's leading children's charities, serving children in every community in the United States and its territories. With the help of generous donors and more than 33,000 volunteers, Make-A-Wish grants a wish somewhere in the country every 34 minutes.
